Astro Fighters

Astro Fighters is a fast-paced vertical scrolling STG focused on score attack, aggressive grazing, and arcade-style mastery. Survive dense bullet patterns, collect medals to build your score multiplier, and charge your graze gauge by flying dangerously close to enemy fire. Spend stored energy strategically to unleash powerful spread attacks, trigger screen-clearing bombs, or slow time itself to escape impossible situations.
